You're Invited - Live Online Event in the Yarning Space, 27th May (Have your say!)

You're Invited - Live Online Event in the Yarning Space, 27th May (Have your say!)

Hello,

 

Thank you for joining the "Yarning Space" subforum! It’s deadly to have you involved.

 

I am an Aboriginal man from Yuin Country, employed at SANE as the Social Emotional Wellbeing Manager (SEWB), my role is to embed a Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) Framework into SANE’s programs and services which includes the forums, and the new Yarning Space currently being trialed and co-designed.

 

We would like to invite you to a special live event to provide us with some feedback about the yarning space and start the process of co-designing the future look and feel of the space as it's important that we know what’s important to you. The event will be a live online group discussion led by SANE and co-hosted by @ArraDreaming. Participants that join the event and contribute will be compensated for their time.

 

When: Monday 27th May 7:00pm to 8:30pm AEST

 

How to participate? Simply login at 7:00pm and join the live conversation by replying to some questions. Questions will be posted during this time, so you and others can respond and provide feedback. 

 

We would love to get some feedback from you about:

  • How easy it is to sign up
  • How easy it is to find the space after you have signed up
  • How easy is it to post
  • Whether we keep the space invitation only but make it visible on the SANE Forums page.
  • What does SEWB mean to you and how can we make the space culturally safe, responsive to your needs, and unique compared to the other Forums?
  • What content would you like to see
  • What design would you like to see
  • Other suggestions/feedback

What is co-design? “Co-design” refers to a participatory approach to designing solutions, in which community members are treated as equal collaborators in the design process.

 

 Hope you all can make it!

Our first question tonight: 

What value/benefit do you see in a Yarning Space/forum? What do you hope to get out of it?

Great question to start off, @SouthsNo1

For me…
- Connecting with mob

- Learning about culture

-Sharing culture

- Peer support and ideas, share experiences

- Having conversations and yarns about issues that affect us in a safe place

I am not sure that there is a benefit as it kind of segregates us and others. Although I can see there might be some cultural pro's. I am here keeping an open mind and having a wait and see approach.

There is lots of possible benefits in looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts

Id like to see people sharing their experiences to help others understand the culture.

Hey, yeah. One of the questions was about social & emotional well-being.

While it's great acknowledging the positives like bring on county:

* our health & well bring are linked to STRUCTURAL inequalities eg poverty, lack of connection, family violence, criminal justice involvement, overpricing etc. Intergenerational trauma plays a huge role in my mental health issues.
* being able to get real about this stuff is validating

Great points @Lila3 and I guess that’s entirely the point, having a culturally safe place to have those talks and get real… for sure
